Title: Trump out at #RSG15; Update: Fiorina to Trump: “There. Is. No. Excuse.”

Earlier this evening, CNN’s Don Lemon interviewed Donald Trump about the debate on Fox News Channel last night, and set off another Trump-related tempest. After noting that Kelly pushed Trump during the debate, and that she “pushed a lot of people” besides Trump, Lemon asked, “What is it with you and Megyn Kelly?” Trump’s reply was, er … colorful, to say the least [emphasis mine]:

TRUMP: Well, I just don’t respect her as a journalist, I have no respect for her. I don’t think she’s very good, I think she’s highly overrated. But when I came out there, you know — what am I doing? I’m not getting paid for this. I go out there, and they start saying this stuff [garbled]. But you know, I didn’t know there’d be 24 million people. I knew it was going to be a big crowd because I get crowds, I get ratings. They call me the ratings machine. So I have, you know, she gets out and she starts asking me all sorts of ridiculous questions, and you could see there was blood coming out of her eyes, blood coming out of her … wherever. But in my opinion, she was off base.

Kelly did ask Trump tough questions in last night’s debate, but she asked tough questions of Marco Rubio on abortion too, and of other candidates on stage as well. As the front-runner, Trump should have expected tough questions, especially given his track record of supporting nearly every progressive idea at one time or another, including Hillary Clinton being President.  Kelly also asked Trump about his remarks about women, which appears to have particularly rankled him — and pushed him into validating Kelly’s premise in asking those questions in the first place. After all, it’s not often when a major party candidate takes a shot at a woman by reminding everyone of her menstrual cycle. I’m certain that will really impress women about their place in the Republican Party.

Trump was scheduled to speak at the Red State Gathering tomorrow, in the final slot at the event. Not long after these remarks, event organizer Erick Erickson announced that he had withdrawn the invitation:

That will undoubtedly anger some Trump supporters, but after last night’s debate performance and his thin-skinned whining afterward, I wonder if that group wasn’t already in decline. This might fire up the die-hard Trump troops, but suggesting that a journalist went after his target-rich record only because she was menstruating should be a disqualifier for most voters. It’s vastly worse than anything Todd Akin said, and will almost certainly have media outlets demanding responses from the other Republican candidates. It’s practically tailor-made for Democrats to hoist up the Republican War On Women banner, especially Hillary Clinton.

Get ready for plenty of Team Trump dog-in-the-manger, sour-grapes quotes in the morning, if not overnight. There may be some legitimate anger among a small group of RSG15 attendees tomorrow who wanted to see Trump at this event, but Erick has a solid case for not wanting to have this overshadow the event tomorrow, with more presidential candidates on hand to make their pitches. Erick will almost certainly address this in the morning, and we’ll see what the fallout is over the rest of the day.

Update: Carly Fiorina appears to be the first Republican candidate to respond to Trump’s remarks, perhaps fittingly so (via Twitchy):

That’s interesting, because Fiorina actually deflected a Trump question at her presser today at RSG15 by asking why the media wasn’t calling out Obama for his offensive comments about opponents of the Iran deal. Not this time, apparently.

Update: Erick has an explanation up at RedState:

But I also think that while Mr. Trump resonates with a lot of people with his bluntness, including me to a degree, there are just real lines of decency a person running for President should not trust.

His comment was inappropriate. It is unfortunate to have to disinvite him. But I just don’t want someone on stage who gets a hostile question from a lady and his first inclination is to imply it was hormonal. It just was wrong.

I have invited Megyn Kelly to attend in Donald Trump’s place tomorrow night.

Well, that would be interesting. We’ll see if she can swing that.

And the magazine's guess would be better than Trump's... why?

Because they not only sift through public records to determine net worth,but they also have no reason to lie about it.

What magazine? And the public records of an organization like Trump's can only be guestimated from the public records. The magazines have to swag it. Trump has the real numbers.

If the GOPe puts someone at the top of the ticket who is not clearly committed to doing something about illegal immigrants, the GOP will lose.

The last time the base was this fed up was in 1992 when Ross Perot ran third party and collected nearly 20 million votes.

I see no sign the GOP is especially interested.

They are more interested in recruiting and funding challengers to Tea Party members of Congress who won't toe the line dictated by the open borders Chamber of Commerce.

Trumps words moved and he said he wouldn't run third party if he won the nomination. You called that a lie. Which shows you are quite the fool

Trump: "I can totally make that pledge, if I am the nominee, I will not run as an independent."

He promised nothing. Obviously, if he is the GOP nominee then he really is unlikely to just dump the GOP and then run third party.

You'd think the crowd would have started laughing at his "pledge".

There it is, two glorious minutes of pure, unalloyed truth on national television. How often does that happen?

I'll give you a half-point on that one because what Trump was really doing was bragging about his wealth and power more than he was complaining about a broken system.

How often does a fatcat billionaire-insider appear on TV and announce that the whole system is a big-fat scam run by crooks and patsies?

How many of them are stupid enough to admit they are one of the crooks gaming the system?

And don't confuse arrogance with honesty.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SurveyMonkey

They do online surveys, not actual polling. I'm a little surprised you don't seem to recognize the difference.

SurveyMonkey is an online survey[6] development cloud-based ("software as a service") company, founded in 1999 by Ryan Finley. SurveyMonkey provides free, customizable surveys, as well as a suite of paid back-end programs that include data analysis, sample selection, bias elimination, and data representation tools.[7] In addition to providing free and paid plans for individual users, SurveyMonkey offers more large-scale enterprise options for companies interested in data analysis, brand management, and consumer-focused marketing.[8] Since releasing its enterprise in 2013, business-focused services, SurveyMonkey has grown dramatically, opening a new headquarters in downtown Palo Alto.[4]

SurveyMonkey provides data collection, data analysis, brand management, and consumer marketing for Facebook, Virgin America, Salesforce.com, Samsung, and Kraft Foods, among others.[9]

As of 2015, SurveyMonkey has 25 million users completing 90 million surveys a month. The company was named to the Forbes Unicorn List in 2015. [10]

For some reason he thinks the changes are immediate...

It takes time for these things to all shake out which gives him the ammunition for his argument. Since the tax hike didn't hurt the economy immediately there must be another reason the economy went to schitt, and it will be a Republicans fault somehow...

Never, that’s when. But that’s what Trump did last night. And that’s why the clatter of ruthless miscreants who run the system behind the smokescreen of fake politicians are sharpening their knives right now before Manhattan’s rogue elephant does even more damage to their precious system.

Just think about what the man said. He not only explained that the whole system is rigged...he also said that the politicians will do whatever they’re told to do.

HA! And that is exactly why what Trump has a accomplished is a noble thing of beauty, and it makes him a hero of We The People -- YES, HERO!

The entire impenetrable system, wall of silence, the rigging of elections and policy decisions, the insider snickering at the ignorance of We The Peasants -- EXPOSED!

It took a fed-up Insider and fellow narcissist, rampaging like a bull in a china shop to do it: Donald Trump.

So either one can applaud Trump's unprecedented gesture and cheer on his further dismantling and exposure of the elites' FIX, OR support business as usual.

I wouldn't jump that far ahead [on a Trump Presidency].

I do not know who his opponent would be, and he may not be nearly as strong in the general as in the primary season. But if the GOPe screws him over as the only way to clear a path for their chosen son, they may well wind up with The Donald on another ticket. Like with Perot, his supporters would like a chance to vote for their guy, and against the GOPe.

I concur with your assessment and projected scenario completely. The GOPe is screwed either way, but as long as Trump helped expose and destroy the secret GOP-Dem Uniparty orgy and severely weaken the Establishment Republican reputation, I'm pleased. I'd rather gamble Trump somehow leads a Third Party rather than the status quo Uniparty charade.

As to "President Trump," I'm tweaking the nipples of the anti-Trumpettes.

Who freakin' cares about "trustworthiness" of wealth figures in the context of the overall revelations?

Trump JUST exposed AND CONFIRMED the entire GOP-Dem system as rigged 100%, revealed politicians are ONLY whores-for-hire, WHILE exposing the collusion of the Media, the Dems, AND Establishment GOP...

But here YOU and others are, whining about the sprig of parsley on your plate of aged, prime filet mignon. Trump is no saint. But he blew the whistle on the system. Yes, a billionaire -- but who other than someone totally entrenched within the elite would be believed?

Set aside you hatred of Trump for a moment and look at THE BIG PICTURE. Because of Donald Trump's dangerous, personally risky honesty, you've, we've all just witnessed the biggest scandal in political history. The elites' door was kicked in.

Yeah, Survey Monkey sounds like a real top outfit. ‹/sarcasm›

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SurveyMonkey

Doing polls for NBC and raking in $113M annual revenue is pretty good for not a top outfit.

No, not a dignified moniker at all, but 'Survey Monkey' is apparently WELL respected AND yes -- a "top outfit" as far as polling goes. Some monikers sound dignified and true. Like "Planned Parenthood," which indeed does plan un-Parenthood via state-sanctioned "in utero" executions.

You realize this is largely self-selected online polling? Not real polling.

But it is a lot cheaper for NBC and they can peddle this crap just as easily as they already peddle their more expensive conventional biased phone polls.

This is a corporate cloud-based version of PollDaddy.

Thus, my comments these macro economic issues are a lot more complex than pundits frame them.

Reagan cut taxes, but he and Congress also held increases in government spending well below the growth of GDP. Success

Bush II cut taxes but went on a war and social programs spending spree. Failure. He spent more than the growth.

Again even that is scratching the surface as wars, natural disasters, and industry flux and crashes contribute to or decline from a recovery.

I have to agree that some 'light' was shed on the whole corrupt collusion (party elites and media). I don't think Trump meant for that to happen. It just happened by the elite confronting him trying to bruise his ego and Trump reacting as he always does...defending his ego.

It is quite comical to watch professional narcissists go at it. Especially when they don't realize they are narcissists:)

It seems there was some grand plan to shove a GOPe candidate down our throats by having so many primary candidates. Seems not everything is going to plan and that upsets the apple cart some.

Couldn't you argue the same if there were only a few candidates?

  1. "There are too few choices, the GOPe did it to ram their choice down our throats."
  2. "There are too many choices, the GOPe did it to ram their choice down our throats."

Different open primary years for presidential elections tend to attract a fair number of candidates. This is one reason why Romney had so few real challengers of any caliber but McStain had quite a few that were more credible.

A non-incumbent election tends to bring out every candidate that ever had a hankering to run. The Dims suppressed that this time by collaring all their tycoons and the libmedia and making it clear that Hitlery was the nominee, no matter what. And Trump will ultimately guarantee Bush the GOP nomination.

Are you SERIOUSLY trying to claim Trump is more trustworthy when talking about his wealth than anyone else you could mention?

Are you SERIOUSLY claiming that some magazine you can't identify has better information about Trump's finances that Trump?

I did not say he was more trustworthy when talking about his wealth, I said he is the sole source for the accurate information. It is not possible to review public records and get a complete picture of his finances.

Forbes estimated his net worth at $4B.

http://fortune.com/2015/07/17/donald-trump-net-worth-calculator/

On Wednesday, Trump filed his financial disclosure forms. His campaign said Trump’s net worth exceeds $10 billion. They used capital letters.

Others disagree. Wealth-X, a consulting firm, puts Trump’s net worth at $4.5 billion. Forbes says the real estate tycoon-turned-reality star-turned-presidential hopeful is worth $4 billion. And the magazine estimates that Trump’s net worth has dropped by at least $125 million since he announced his presidential run a month ago. Author Timothy O’Brien famously estimated Trump’s net worth was as little as $125 million. Trump sued for libel, but the case was thrown out by the judge.

Who’s right? It’s hard to tell based on what Trump has disclosed so far. In his statement on Wednesday, Trump said he had income of $362 million last year. That didn’t included dividends or other capital gains. After taxes, that’s $217 million. If Trump were a stock, for him to be worth $10 billion, he would have a price-to-earnings ratio of 46. Facebook FB -0.03% has a p/e that’s roughly equivalent to that. But the social network’s cash flow is rising by 40% a year. Trump’s, likely, is not.

It appears to be somewhere between $125M and $10B.

Ah, when he is the only one in the history of debates to tell the truth about political donations, he is still a liar because his motives were impure.

Personally, I never believe someone who has made billions is stupid. Arrogant? Of course he is. Arrogance flashes off Trump like a neon sign. That's part of the Trump brand.

If the corporate fat cats are buying favors with donations, the question becomes what are the politicians selling that is worth the donations? Trump was smart enough to stick to wedding attendances. In the midst of his schtick, few seem to have noticed that he did not say what else he got for his donations.

But I WILL say that the GOPe ARE responsible for growing a gubmint leviathan.

True but you know how he likes to blame them for everything even if they didn't do it...

Trump JUST exposed AND CONFIRMED the entire GOP-Dem system as rigged 100%, revealed politicians are ONLY whores-for-hire, WHILE exposing the collusion of the Media, the Dems, AND Establishment GOP...

Now the issue is how many people will believe what he said and how many people will just ???

It appears to be somewhere between $125M and $10B.

Very brave of you to way out on a limb like that.     : )

It is quite comical to watch professional narcissists go at it. Especially when they don't realize they are narcissists:)

It seems there was some grand plan to shove a GOPe candidate down our throats by having so many primary candidates. Seems not everything is going to plan and that upsets the apple cart some.

Yes it was quite amusing and now I wonder what "dirt" will be dug up in the next few months by the establishment to discredit Trump and grease the skids for the Oscar Mayor Weiner Boy "Jebby Poo"???

I have to agree that some 'light' was shed on the whole corrupt collusion (party elites and media). I don't think Trump meant for that to happen.

I'm not so sure about that...

People with IQs 85 are now convinced they are geniuses and are entitled to according entitlements.

You can thank the school system for teaching them that they are special when they actually aren't...

You realize this is largely self-selected online polling? Not real polling

You realize your knee-jerk reaction is wrong.

Of course, I am not the one who claimed their results are scientific, as opposed to the unscientific flash polls.

Why a poll using the internet must be any less scientific than a poll using the telephone is not explained. A disadvantage of phone polling is that random calls to cell phone numbers from phone banks are frowned upon.

Pew Research Center study of non-probability sampling

Pew Research Center is engaged in an ongoing program of research on non-probability sampling to determine what its potential may be for the types of research that we conduct. Our largest effort in this arena is a collaboration with SurveyMonkey and Westat.

In our collaboration, each of the three organizations involved in this work has conducted a survey drawing on a common core of measures. SurveyMonkey conducted a survey of its non-probability panel, Westat conducted a survey with a probability sample of U.S. households selected using address-based sampling and Pew Research Center conducted a survey with its probability-based American Trends Panel. Additional comparisons are available from Pew Research Center telephone surveys.

[...]

In 2014, The New York Times and CBS News used online non-probability survey panels from UK-based research firm YouGov as part of their election polling efforts, and NBC News and SurveyMonkey have been conducting occasional joint polls of this variety.

A bad bet and poor strategy if true on their part.

No one likes Lady Lindsey.

But you have to remember they think "ALL" the voters are stupid...
